Recording fixes

Why is my screen recording blurry?

Find the first stage where the text becomes soft: the original capture, the export or the embedded player. Changing export settings will not restore detail that was never captured.

Recording fixes

Fix text that is too small in a demo video

Improve framing before adding more resolution. Show the part of the interface that proves the point, and check it at the size where people will actually watch.

Recording fixes

Remove black bars from a screen recording

Black bars usually indicate that the source and display frame have different shapes, or that bars were already included in the source. Decide whether to crop, preserve the full frame or record in a different layout.

Recording fixes

Fix a choppy software screen recording

Separate capture stutter from playback stutter. If frames are already missing in the original, a different player or export cannot recover the exact interaction that was lost.

Recording fixes

Screen recording audio out of sync: find the drift

Check whether the sound has a constant offset or gradually drifts away from the picture. A constant offset can be aligned; progressive drift requires investigating timing or duration differences.

Recording fixes

Screen recording file too large: reduce it carefully

Reduce unnecessary duration, excessive dimensions and excessive bitrate in that order of editorial importance. Preserve enough detail for interface text to remain readable.

Recording fixes

Why a clear video looks blurry after upload

Compare the uploaded rendition with the local export after platform processing has finished. If only the published version is soft, inspect the platform’s current delivery requirements and the actual viewing size.

Recording fixes

Screen recording has no audio: check the source first

First establish whether the recording contains an audio track. Then check capture permissions, selected input, track mute states and player volume. Microphone audio and application sound may use different capture paths.

Recording fixes

Fix distracting cursor movement in a product demo

Reduce unnecessary cursor movement during capture and use emphasis only when it clarifies an action. A pointer should guide attention, not become the main animation.

Recording fixes

Fix flickering text and thin lines in screen recordings

Find whether the flicker comes from the product itself, scaling between pixel grids or the encoded export. Thin lines and small text are particularly sensitive to resizing and motion.

Recording fixes

Fix a portrait demo that cuts off the product

A portrait export needs a deliberate composition. If essential controls are outside the crop, use a better source framing or a separate mobile recording rather than hiding the missing task behind captions.

Recording fixes

Why your product demo will not autoplay

Browsers can block autoplay, particularly when media includes audible playback. Design a visible play control and treat autoplay as an optional enhancement rather than the only way to view the demo.

Recording fixes

Fix a missing product video thumbnail

Check the poster URL independently from the video URL. A valid video file does not guarantee that its poster image exists, can be fetched or is displayed before playback.

Recording fixes

Screen recording colours look wrong after export

Compare the source and export under the same viewing conditions before changing colours. Capture colour settings, conversion, display differences and player behaviour can all affect the appearance.

Recording fixes

A demo video shows private data: replace it safely

Stop sharing the affected export, identify every place the data appears and replace the source with safe demo data where possible. A quick blur on one frame may miss the same information elsewhere.

Recording fixes

Shorten a product demo without losing the story

Shorten the number of ideas before accelerating the footage. Keep the problem, decisive action and visible result; remove repetition and navigation that does not help the viewer understand that chain.
